N3VRL8 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Has anyone used glass sealant or something like paint sealant/H20G&G to coat a photo lens from elements distorting photos or videos? Here's my direct situation; I am going to Aruba and want to utilize my GoPro and its very humid, and the GoPro will get wet. Outside of buying the anti-fog lens has anyone tried using sealants on the lens and case to prevent water steaks/fogging? Thanks in advance Edited November 29, 2016 by SVT-Raptor&Cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 GoPro actually encourages the use of glass sealant on the glass housing. Do not apply it directly to the lens. Lenses are very delicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thats good to know. Been thinking about putting sealant on mine for a while but figured there might be a coating already on there that the sealant would have issues with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 N3VRL8 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ah Thanks - I'll give it a try on my Hero4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N3VRL8 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Update: Back from Aruba, and while I did get some killer shots and videos on the GoPro (Scuba Diving, parasailing etc..) the glass sealant was useless. I had better luck licking the lens to keep water from beading. I am going to try paint sealant on the waterproof case and test around the house if that doesn't work I'll follow the GoPro instructions Kingsford posted and use that application.
